Great race edit, well put together and loved the way the pitstop action was edited into the race action. Felt far more creative than some of the previous efforts which felt a little bit too editorial/formal.

Why is the F1.com website so horrible to use. The video player is stone-age (CPU performance? are you kidding me?). Clunky horrible interface and you can't even full screen the videos. A number of tube sites (and not just youtube!) surpassed this in ease to use around 7-8 years ago!

The fact FOM don't have a F1 Youtube channel to upload these all onto is incredible. FOM shooting themselves in the foot as usual with regards to F1 being scared shitless by social media and the internet.

It's bacause the videos are direct streams from the servers and not video files played back in the computer's cache.

It's because of the complex contracts FOM has with broadcasters; hence they can distribute moving image materials on their respective websites (BBC, Sky etc) but they take everything down from Youtube.

Why can't these contracts be renegotiated? The more exposure F1 gets online, the more people will tune in to the respective broadcasters programming which makes them more money.

One of my favourite F1 videos was Vettel's pole lap around Suzuka, which was the of the greatest things I've ever seen on that track. And yet a 3 year old video got taken down and banned by FOM. Who the hell has anything to gain from censoring that, in the end it's only the fans who lose out. As a result we have to wade through a shitload of 13 year old's uploading their Playstation videos when trying to find highlights from a race. It just irks me that there's someone employed by FOM scouring the internet and deleting these videos for no discernible reason, like a ****ing F1 grinch...

Part of racing is understanding where the other car is, and anticipating where it will be in a few moments. Especially if you're racing someone like Maldonado.

I don't want to turn this into another Lewis/Pastor thread & I'm not justifying Lewis's part in the clash but for anyone defending Pastor to say 'racing someone like Maldonado', it already undermines your argument.

Anyway, race edit was good. Felt like a story not just adding music to some flashy clips.

That race edit was good! I'm fairly surprised, after the recent mediocre productions - the video developed in a story teller fashion, though the music could have been a bit better, still, a large leap forward compared to the rest.
